Just moved from the UK to China - problems

So in choice2, in console, when changing IP addresses I enable dhcp?
At "Do you want to enable the DHCP server on LAN? (y/n)" I typed "y"
Now it is asking for:
"Enter the start address of the IPv4 client address range"OK, I typed in at:
"enter the start address at the IPv4 client address range: 192.168.2.129"
""enter the end address at the IPv4 client address range: 192.168.2.254"It then asks for web confi to revert to non HTTPS, I typed "n"
Next:
"reloading filter…"
"reloading routing configuration..."
"DHCPD...""The IPv4 LAN address has been set to 192.168.2.1"
"You can access the webconfigurator by opening the following URL in your web browser: https://192.168.2.1/Now I can access webconfigurator,
but I get this message"An HTTP_REFERER was detected other than what is defined in System -> Advanced (https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?action=post;msg=790188;topic=137592.60). If not needed, this check can be disabled in System -> Advanced -> Admin."

I don't know what you are doing. Just type that into the URL bar in your browser. Don't click on a forum link.

Thanks for all your support. I can now access web gui. ;D
But I want to add my Asus RTN 66U wireless AP as to replace my old tp link router. When I plug in my Asus to the LAN port of my pfsense box, I can connect wireless to it via my laptop but have no internet access. I have typed in my correct wpa 2 aes key.
any solutions would be very much appreciated. -
… the console requested I choose to enable DHCP on my lan, I chose "no". My lan IP is 192.168.2.1/24.
Only experts should consider "No".
As far as I know, experts always chose "Yes" (live is just to short).
Yes is the default btw, never ever remove a default option (that's equivalent for "looking for problems").Do option 2 again, and chose "Yes".
Nice side effect : Your LAN will start to work !
edit :
About your : "Asus RTN 66U wireless AP" : when you buy a box like that, it's has probably activated its "router mode".
Which means : it has a DHCP server …. You have to de activate that (how ? See Asus RTN 66U wireless AP support - user manual)
Also, put the "Asus RTN 66U wireless AP" in "bridge mode" or "AP only mode".
Also, give it a static IP like 192.168.2.2
Mask 255.255.255.0
Gateway 192.168.2.1
DNS 192.168.2.1This is what I do with my AP's - because : If you have seen one, you saw them all.
and if this "Asus RTN 66U wireless AP" has Ethernet ports on its back labeled LAN and WAN, do not use the WAN port - use (one of) the LAN labeled ports.
To save more time, consider solving the root of all problems : "just moved from the UK to China - problems " : move back.

Thanks a lot. Got everything working but, when I check my pfsense logs at: Status System Logs Firewall Normal View
After trying grc shields up, it states "you should expect to see entries from this site's probing IP addresses: 4.79.142.192 -thru- 4.79.142.207".I do not. I think as I have setup my firewall on my Asus AP, that is protecting my connection.

What ?

I do not. I think as I have setup my firewall on my Asus AP, that is protecting my connection.No way.
The firewall tester "grc.com" will hit against you first firewall / NAT device, that is some box, a box in front of your pf Sense box.
If you have set up this box with NAT rules and/or to reply to ping, it could reply.
But normally, everything will be "green" which means : Ok.
Your AP is the third box in a row, and can't be reached from the outside (it could, but would take us another pages on this forum to explain ^^)As I said above : solve most if not all your problems, and move back :) (you better no be Russian, btw)

I meant Status System-> Logs-> Firewall Normal View
I am a British citizen, with a family history of active service in the UK military. No way Russian.
I understand, the Asus is in the front line.
Also, why I cannot connect my pfsense box to my wan port instead of lan port? -

I understood : on the pfSense LAN - as one of the devices on your LAN - like PC's, printers, etc.
It's an AP, thus that is where it belongs.On the pfSense WAN side you have tour "ISP" box (also a router), that's it.

You might consider hiring someone to hook all this up for you.
